External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Sunday said that temples are "keepers of our culture and history" and the Modi Government is focused on creating, rebuilding and restoring India's rich traditions for the benefit of the entire world.
He was addressing the Kashi Tamil Sangamam on the subject 'contribution of temples in society and nation building' being held.
Global rebalancing is being expressed in culture as much as in politics and economics. A truly democratic and pluralistic world order must see a full expression of India's heritage, abroad as much as at home, Mr. Jaishankar said.
Temples are keepers of our culture and history. They are centres of knowledge and promoters of arts and crafts, he said "The cultural diplomacy of the Modi Government is focused on creating, rebuilding and restoring our rich traditions for the benefit of the entire world. This is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," Mr. Jaishankar said.
